Congressional Legislators with morality and strength of character need to introduce the #NoMorePain Bill immediately. The No More Pain Bill would mandate that opioids cannot be prescribed for more than a 10-day supply. After that, any re-prescribing of opioids to the same person within a two-year period, [b]must be administered at the physician's office and under physician supervision on a daily basis[/b].

A universal pharmaceutical records patient database can be established and maintained for opioids only, in order to check that one patient does not repeatedly obtain a single prescription via multiple doctors. And the obligation that a physician administer any subsequent prescriptions on a daily basis, takes away a physician's argument that they just did not know.

The medical profession has already accepted as standard practice the recent, professionally-recommended, and voluntary limits on the over-prescription of antibiotics in order to prevent patient overuse and the subsequent development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

The medical profession needs to similarly accept new, legally-imposed limits on the over-prescription of opioids to prevent patient overuse and the subsequent development of drug addictions.[/quote]
that's ridiculous for a ton of reasons
just a few
1. cost to patients if they have to travel to a medical office daily, missing work
2. cost to patients for the added services /employees needed to dispense meds. That task isn't going to be delegated to a medical assistant, so the office will have to employ nurses or physician assistants
3. Medical offices will become targets for robbery if drugs are routinely stored on the premises
4. physicians may need to register with the board of pharmacy and pay to enhance security if they're storing narcotics inhouse[/quote]
